AmeriCares

CHAI and The AmeriCares India Foundation have come to an agreement for supply of essential medicines free to our member institutions. AmeriCares is an independent registered trust in India, a charitable organization that provides immediate response to emergency medical needs and supports long-term humanitarian assistance programs in India and in neighbouring countries, irrespective of race, creed or political persuasion. In that capacity, AmeriCares India Foundation currently operates in twenty states across India, and has already delivered more than Rs 13 crores worth of free medical assistance in the last year alone. AmeriCares India Foundation accomplishes its mission through the donation of essential medicines and supplies to charity hospitals and community medical programs, by operating medical camps in slum and tribal areas, and by responding to disasters such as the floods in Leh-Ladakh or the cyclone in West Bengal. This work is made possible by soliciting donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from Indian-based pharmaceutical manufacturers and multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers based in India, and delivering them quickly to those in need.
